[PATCH 0/3] fs: Remove old mount API helpers
From: Pedro Falcato
Date: Wed Jul 23 2025 - 09:23:13 EST
Based on linux-next as of 23 July 2025.
This patchset contains a very small cleanup, where we remove mount_nodev
(unused since 6.15) and mount_bdev (unused since f2fs converted their
mount API usage, still in -next). Obviously depends on the f2fs patches
(maybe should be merged through their tree? I don't know.).
While we're at it, we also get to removing some stale mount API docs.
I did look into removing ->mount() altogether, but sadly 9pfs is still
using it.
